👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Heat the oil in a skillet and fry the leek 5–7 minutes, until softened. Season with salt and black pepper.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveFrying pan
  3. 3
    Transfer the leek to a baking dish and spread it out.
    Baking pan
  4. 4
    Gently crack the eggs over the leek, keeping the yolks whole.
  5. 5
    Sprinkle the mozzarella on top.
  6. 6
    Bake in the pan 12–15 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks still soft.

    💡The eggs keep cooking in the hot dish after they come out of the oven: take them out when the whites are set and the yolks still wobble in the center.
    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
  7. 7
    Serve immediately, straight from the dish, with bread.
